Chapter 442

He also knew how much impact a sudden abdication three days later would have.

The Rock God is gone, and he will be gone from now on. Just the modification of Liyue's laws will take a long time.

Not to mention the addition and removal of other systems later.

This is a big job, and it must be reviewed by the Liyue Qixing together.

But Seeing Zhongli had no choice.

He now has a reason that he must abdicate.

A month later, the Jiu You Secret Realm Exploration Conference opens.

He is going in this time to kill the Green Wind Cow to avenge his revenge.

It is impossible to possess such strength within a month with ordinary means.

The only way is the Demon-Locking Tower.

Seeing Zhongli is going to the Demon-Locking Tower. He has already discussed this with Jiang Yan.

But the Demon-Locking Tower is extremely dangerous. Even Seeing Zhongli is not sure he can come out alive.

Rather than having an accident later and the Rex Lapis really being gone, it is better to abdicate in advance and tell the whole Liyue that the Rex Lapis has resigned himself.

What's more...

He is really tired.

"So, the focus of our discussion now should be the specific details of the Rite of Descension three days later."

Miss Keqing changed the subject, after all, it was awkward for Seeing Zhongli to thank them.

In Liyue, he is the Rex Lapis; in Shushan, he is the head of Dragon Head Peak.

They were not used to him really thanking them.

"The specific process of the Rite of Descension can just be as we decided before."

Lady Ningguang said:

"The Rite of Descension was already ready, but the Mountain Opening Ceremony was postponed for a period of time."

"Just pick the ready-made one. It's nothing more than the Emperor needing to put forward his idea of abdication at the Rite of Descension."

"Emperor, you have to prepare the speech draft in advance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Seeing Zhongli coughed dryly, his expression a bit awkward:

"Can I trouble you?"

"..."

So you quit and don't do it, and we have to write your resignation letter for you?

Is it that free?

Lady Ningguang sighed in her heart and nodded helplessly.

"No problem. Secretary Baiwen, determine the speech draft as soon as possible within these three days."

"Yes, Lady Lady Ningguang."

Lady Yelan opened her eyes and reminded:

"Regarding the turmoil in Liyue's political circles after the Emperor's abdication, the Liyue Qixing can prepare in advance."

Uncle Tian, whose appearance had returned to his youth, nodded in agreement.

"The General Affairs Office also has to expand as appropriate, and there is also the Yuehai Pavilion. Sister Miss Ganyu is about to break through, and her talent is good, and with the Sect Master..."

Before he finished speaking, Seeing Zhongli coughed dryly:

"The Sect Master's private affairs, don't talk too much."

Uncle Tian nodded repeatedly.

"In short, my meaning is that Sister Miss Ganyu, as a major pillar of our Liyue cultivation world, must focus on cultivation."

"Expansion of Yuehai Pavilion is inevitable. Spending some Mora doesn't matter to us."

"The General Affairs Office is the same, and we also have to prepare to choose successors ourselves."

Hearing this, Yaoguang shook her head with a smile.

"Uncle Tian sees the Emperor abdicate, and he wants to abdicate himself to focus on cultivation, right?"

Uncle Tian laughed.

"Be considerate, I'm also an old man!"

"Uncle Tian's current image can't be called an old man, and you are now at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and you can live for hundreds of years more."

Lady Ningguang covered her mouth and smiled, teasing, and then said:

"However, Uncle Tian's tenure is indeed long enough, and choosing a successor is also reasonable."

"And, we Liyue Qixing are all cultivating immortality, and our lifespans are long, so the life-long Liyue Qixing is not suitable. We should set a specific tenure."

"One is to prevent continuous tenure from leading Liyue astray, and the other is that for us, and for Liyue, powerful cultivators are the foundation of the turbulent era in the future."

"We must focus on cultivation."

Other Liyue Qixing nodded in agreement. To be honest, with such a long life, they didn't want to be Liyue Qixing forever.

A cultivator who doesn't want to become an immortal is not a good Shushan disciple.

Miss Keqing thought for a moment and added:

"After the Emperor abdicates, for some legal modification issues, you can contact Yanfei. She is a professional."

"The tenure of Liyue Qixing can also be decided by asking Yanfei to hold a meeting."

The Kaiyang Star, who was full of martial virtue, clenched his fists and said:

"You didn't mention the key point! Shouldn't the key point be that the Emperor announces his abdication, and we should also show our fists?"

"Show your fists? To whom?"

Seeing Beidou shook her head with a smile, not without pride:

"Liyue today has the most cultivators, the closest relationship with Shushan, a prosperous economy, and flourishing martial arts."

"We are the strongest country in Teyvat. Besides, the Emperor is just abdicating, not completely ignoring Liyue."

"We have a good relationship with Mondstadt, and countries like Sumeru and Fontaine also know our background, so it's impossible to do anything."

"Snezhnaya, the Cryo Archon is in Liyue Harbor, and she knows our foundation very well."

"The remaining Inazuma still has no cultivation, so it's impossible to pose a threat to us."

"If you hit with your fists, who can you show them to?"

Kaiyang waved his hand with a smile:

"Captain Seeing Beidou's words are wrong. Who said there are only seven countries in Teyvat? Isn't there the Abyss Order?"

Hearing this, Lumine's eyes changed slightly, and she felt a bit guilty.

"Then what does Kaiyang Star mean..."

Cloud Retainer asked curiously.

Kaiyang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice:

"I think we can have a grand military parade to let the whole Teyvat see the foundation of our Liyue."

"Even without the Emperor, our Liyue is still the strongest country in the whole Teyvat."

"Let those guys who dare to show their heads when they see the Emperor abdicate first consider whether they have the ability to bear the price of provoking us!"

Everyone exchanged glances and felt that Kaiyang's words made sense, so they nodded in approval.

Seeing them arguing endlessly, Seeing Zhongli put down his teacup and said:

"These problems are secondary. You can discuss them yourself later."

"The most important problem is that I asked the Sect Master before, and if I abdicate at the Rite of Descension, he might come out of the mountain."

"The Sect Master leaving Shushan to come to the mortal world is the first time in so long. The Rite of Descension must not have any mistakes."

"Losing face in front of the Sect Master would be unjustifiable."

Lady Ningguang smiled immediately and said softly:

"Don't worry, Emperor, Liyue will definitely entertain the Sect Master well."

Seeing Zhongli nodded slightly.

"It's not just the Sect Master. When the Sect Master comes to Liyue, I think all Shushan disciples will come. At that time, this final Rite of Descension will be a grand event."

"Liyue must do a good job of entertaining and also guard against people making trouble."

"In addition, you can also take this opportunity to contact those lone outer disciples and try to pull them into the Liyue camp."

"In the era of the future, we need to possess more cultivators so that Liyue can develop better."

Lady Ningguang nodded in agreement. She naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
